THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 1871. LORD LYTTON AS A DRAMATIST. Th following critical estimate of Lord Ly Iton's abilities as a dramatio writer appeared in the Athenaeum aa one of a series of papers entitled "Dramatists of the Tresent Day:" Lord Lytton is a man of high aspirations. He is also a man who has an amount of ener getic enterprise seldom possessed by snob a character. His importunity is as great that of the weman in the Gospel, and the public Is his unjust judge. He will not hearken to a first donial, but gains his nit by his con tinual coming. Soon aftr attaining his ma jority he published work of notion, the merits of whiob were not apparent. The following yew he preduoed "Pelham," and the world adjudged him a man of genius. He wrote an epio poem, with Arthur as the hero, which was received with derision by presumably competent critics; yet, on the appearance the other day of a new edition, the same poem was treated by the Timet and other high authorities with the con sideration due to a work of supreme excel lence. In the year 183G a play from his pen, entitled "The Duchesse de la Valliere, " was per formed at Covent Garden, and, although more poetical than the poem, failed. But the play wright did not therefore despair. Two years after, undisheartened by hostile criticism, the author produced at the same theatre his "Lady of Lyons" and the drama became the most popular in our language, producing for Lord Lytton an annual inoome as large as that of a fashionable tailor's foreman or of two or three country parsons. As versatile in his pursuits as in his knowledge, Lord Lytton is poet, novelist, statesman, orator, political ramDhleteer. essayist, and dramatist. In each department he is influential, and in eaoh he has secured for himself a plaoe of honor. Lord Lytten's contributions to the stage are not many: "The Duchess de La Val liere," in five acts (18.SG); "The Lady of Lyons; or, Love and Pride" (18.18); "Riche lieu; or, the Conspiracy" (1830); "The Sea Captain; or, the Birthright;" "Money," a comedy (1810); "Not so Bad as we Seem; or, Many Sides to a Charaoter," written in 1851, and first represented in that year in aid of the Gnild of Literature and Art; and "The Rightful Heir," a new version of "The Sea-Captain," produoed in 18G8, form, I believe, a oomplete list of his pieces. All these dramas have the same merits and the same defects. Lord Lytton is the best story-teller I know. A brief tale of vengeance told at Naples by one of the characters in his novel "Zanoni" has never been surpassed for the wondrous art with which the incidents are blended and the effective force of the climax is strengthened. In constructive skill and artistic treatment, indeed, Lord Lytton has cot a superior. No oaprice diverts him from Lis main purpose. The progress of his story is never deranged by episode. All the details have essential use, and the reason for their introduction is seen at the end. The fifth act of "The Lady of Lyons" opens with the entrance of three officers just re turned from the campaign, and they, in dis cussing with General Dainas the rapid pro motion of one of their comrades, Morier, disclose, in the most natural way, the career of the hero during the two years and a half which have elapsed sinoe "Melnotte" changed his name and became a soldier. An inferior artist would have evaded such a method of developing the plot. He would have made Melnotte himself reveal by soliloquy what is necessary to be learnt; or some subordinate would announce the facts after the fashion of a messenger in the Greek drama. Lord Lytton's method is at once natural and effective; and when we hear the conversation we at once believe it is just what we should expect. All the plays not excepting "The Duchess de La Valliere," which failed merely on account of its theme have the same merit. But although no drama can be good which is defective in this respect, it is possible for a drama to be admirable in construction and yet have the gravest faults. It is the case with Lord Lytton's plays. They are symmetrical; for fctage effect the situations are good; and the artistio treatment is excellent; yet in im portant particulars Lord Lytton is excelled by men greatly inferior to him in pretension and fame. His dialogue abounds in vices; it is weai and stilted when, to the casual ear, there is seeming strength. I look in vain for intellectual vigor. Where the author aims at being elevated, he is flatulent. Same of the speeches made by Evelyn in the comedy of "Money" resemble what we hear.from one of those high and mighty heroes who strut the boards of a transpontine theatre. They have meaning, but the meaning is not worth dis covering. In the first act there are long winded commonplaces which must exhaust the patience of any audience. Here is an exam ple: "Look you, now Robe Beauty in silk and cache mire hard Virtue into her chariot lackey their caprices wrap them from the winds fence them round with a golden circle and Virtue and Beauty are as goddesses, both to peasant and to prince. Strip them of the adjuncts aee Virtue and beauty poor dependent solitary walking the wond de fenseless; ob, then the devotion changes its charac ter: the same crowd gather eagerly around fools fops libertines not to worship at the shrine, but to sacrifice the victim." The last words ef the same personage, who is described as a man of genius, are My friends we mint confess It amidst the hu mors and the follies, the vanities, deceits and vices that play their parts lu the great comedy of life It Is our own fault If we do not find such natures, though rare and few, as redeem the rest, brighten ing the shadows that are flung from the form and fcedy of the time with glimpses of the everlasilng holiness of truth and love." Occasionally we light upon a happy re partee, and a genuinely epigram matio turn is given to the dialogue. As a rule, however, energetio feebleness of expression is the cardinal charaoteristio of the plays. Ease, polish, and fastidiousness are apparent; but delicacy and strength are equally wanting. "When his Lordship desires to be more than usually vigorous he invokes the printer's aid, and enhances thealue of his thought by the use of oapital letters. Even his most effec tive stage situations suffer from this defect. When, in "ltichelieu," the Cardinal, with haughty scorn, daunts Baradas, his tri umphant rival, and draws round his ward the circle of the noly Church; when, in the same play, Richelieu addresses Julia de Mortemar as child, and has for reply, 'Child no more! I love, and I am woman!" and when, finally, in the last soene of "The Lady of Lyoni," Melnotte reolaims his wife, the language and sentiment are not on a par with the situation. The scene in "The Lady of Lyons" is a fair pecimm of Lord Lytton' best manner, and I cannot refrain from re producing it. Pauline is to be wedded to an old lover, who, by his wealth, will save her father's credit. The notary i8 about to band the contract to Pauline, when Melnotte, wbo is present, seizes and tears it, whereupon the bridegroom expectant and the father of the bride desire explanation: tftlnctu. Peace, old man ! J have a prior claim. Before the face Cf man and Heaven I urge It ! 1 outbid Yon sordid huckster for your priceless jewel. TU.e is the sum twice to'd ! Uiush not to uu it, Tntre'i not a cola that is not bonght and hallowed In the cause of nations with a soldler'i blooe 1 PrautrnnU Torments and dnthl 'online. That voice 1 Thou art Kelnout. Thy husband! Pauline rut htt into hit mrm. As might be expected, his Lordship's senti ment does not transcend his language. Love is bis most frequent theme. His notion of that master passion is, however, the notion incident to puberty. It is admittedly irresis tible; but he does not oonoeive it possible for a man or woman really to love eioept from motives of personal admiration. He is ignorant that titles and high rank have beca the exciting cause of love as profound and intense as what is pro duced by physical beauty. Men have sa crificed themselves for love of prinoesses of whom they were personally ignorant; and it is well known that the traditional idea about titles and rank is as eiucaoious with some in beeetting love as golden locks or bright eyes are with others. In delineating the other passions Lord Lytton is similarly faulty. He is full, as well in his novels as in his plays, of a sort of passion; but it is the passion which Frenchmen, more especially, r.ffect whon they do not feel it. We have glow without fire light without heat. But there is another and more important point to be considered. In the conception and presentation of cha racter, his Lordship is deficient. He does not give ns characters, but characterizations. His types aro traditional; his treatment is tradi tional, and the sentiments with which he endows them are traditional. His sounding line does not reach the depths and shoals of our nature, but Binks no further than the sur face currents. The Arthur of his epia is an impossible hero. In prose fiction the Gentle man Vaife of his best novel is a dilution of Sterne's immortal hero: of Shandoan mould, though bearing the impress of the Bulwer mint. Even "ltichelieu," tho most effective of his stage characters, has no real individu ality. I do not object to the representation because it is not the ltichelieu of history and the memoirs of the time. Mr. Carlyle, in his work on the Trench Revolution, introduces us to a gallery of portraits which have little resemblance to the personages with whoso names they are labelled. But they are men and women. Their dress is diaphanous, and we may see the texture of their skin. They breathe and live; and we anti cipate their speech and action. Lord Lytton had no such creative power; his men and women are people with whom we cannot claim relationship; they are artificial; they are spurious; they have none of those mani fold complex shadings we find inseparable from persons in real life. The tints and tones of character which make a man himself and no other have been forgotten by the artist, or his colors have failed him at the moment they were needed. Lord Lytton's success as a dramatist is due to his ability in making common place senti ment agreeable to the common-place mind. His plays find response in the hearts of young people of imperfect education. His work, de ficient In high qnolities,is sufficiently elevated to make an audience believe themselves capa ble of understanding high things, and suffi ciently mean to permit their comprehending what is placed before them. To say Lord Lytton is a great dramatist would be beyond the truth, lie has the executive tempera ment of an artist, and his production, whether poem, play, or novel, has a mechanical regularity of form; but he wants the power of giving life to that form. He is not a philosopher, as he supposes him self to be; and his worldly wisdom, conveyed in high-floating language, is more often false than true. All, however, will be ready to admit he is an admirable man. The courage and perseverance he has shown are great, aud his example is ennobling, and whatever opi nion we may hold as to the value of his ac complishments, he must have tbe credit of being a notable example of those rare minds whose capabilities equal their capacities. None of his talents has been unused. THE DAYENFOItT TRICKS. How their Dark Ways were Exposed la Koox vide. Knoxville Cofi-expondent Chattanooga Timet. lloxie's Hall was filled to overflowing. At the proper time Mr. Fay, one ot the performers, advanced to the front of the stage with a paper containing the names of the committee, and requested them to come forward. Messrs. Bell and Lowery soon made way through the audi ence and were greeted with tremendous ap plause as they bowed to the audience. While cloning the door Mr. boll was struck on the shoulder with some unknown object, but Mr. Lowery eaw it and instantly went to Mr, Hell's 6ido, and whispered to Mr. Bell, who began to go through the same motion. Out came the object. Mr. Lowery sprang like a cat and seized the band, and wrenched it carefully off, throwing it in tbe audience. Upon exami nation it was found to be a paper masked hand, as thin as writing paper, and fitting so closely in the cabinet that it was impossible to observe It. It was worked by wire, perfectly at the will of the operators. Cheer upon cheer was given for the committee. The brothers were raging with madness, but constant calls from the audi ence convinced them that they must either play or pay, and accordingly the cabinet was thrown aside and the dark seance was announced. A table was brought forward and several musical instruments laid upon it, a quantity of f hosphorus was rubbed on a guitar, and the Ights were extinguished. Presently sweet chords came from the guitar, and the phos phorus was seen running here and there in the air. All present were thunderstruck. They might catch the cabinet trick, but the dark scene was a stunner. While the supposed guitar was swinging In tbe air, one of the audience, named Brooks, pulled from under his coat a dark lantern of immense power, which he in stantly shot on the living guitar. One of the attaches of the show held a pole, on the end of which was nailed a small piece of a flour-barrel heading." The guitar was lying on the table In the same position, only the phosphorus was not on it. To describe the scene that followed would be tolly. We don't think the Brothers will book this city on their next route. SMALL-l0X. Spread ef the Loathsome Disease la New York. Beyond a shadow of a doubt there is danger of small-pox spreading in this and adjoining cities. The ravages of this fearful disease have been felt severely in Brooklyn. The origin of the pestilence Is traced to the extreme eastern portion of Williamsburg. Here, owing to the Ignorance of tbe people and the attending phy sicians, many deaths occurred before the health authorities were notified, and in a short time the disease broke out in a very virulent form in various parts of the city. The clothing, bedding, etc., of the patients are in all cases burned. The Flatbush Hospital has the largest number of cases. It is about four milts from the Fulton Ferry, just beyond the Brooklyn city line. There are accommodations for one hundred and twenty patients. For ven tilation, f pace, sunlight, water, and other facili ties, It Is well favored. There are various wards in the building, which are allotted to various kinds of lulectlous aud contagious diseases. That portion given to tbe smallpox patients just now is by far the most crowded. There are now sixty-four cases. The physicians aver that these patients have progressed much more favorably than those treated in private houses probably because of the superior training of the nurses. In Hoboken several new cases have been discovered, and four deaths have occurred since (Sunday. N. Y. Commercial Advertiser, lat tuning. SPEOIAL NOTICES. tsy- REDEMPTION OF CIVIL BONDS OF I860.
